Bulgari enjoys a unique relationship with the timepiece industry. 

A part of the LVMH group, they are perhaps better known — at least outside watchmaking circles — for their luxurious high jewelry, fashion, and fragrance divisions than they are for their wristwatches. But what watches they do have are really quite something. One need look no further than their award-winning (and completely breathtaking) series to prove that they have it where it counts in terms of design chops.

This particular Bulgari, a midsize piece, dates to the 2020s and is housed in a 33mm black DLC-coated stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a cabochon crown, and an "BVLGARI" engraved bezel. It features a stealthy matte black dial with applied 'hash' indices, a matching 'pencil’ handset, and comes paired to a matching black DLC-coated stainless steel bracelet with a signed push-button deployant clasp.

Not many brands have a signature aesthetic –– this particular Bulgari sports the brand's recognizable engraved bezel on a lovely, moderately-sized case, making it a versatile piece for the office, a night out on the town, or a casual weekend hang.
